+ "iptables is the userspace command line program used to configure the
+Linux 2.4.x and later IPv4 packet filtering ruleset. It is targeted towards
+system administrators. Since Network Address Translation is also configured
+from the packet filter ruleset, iptables is used for this, too. The iptables
+package also includes ip6tables. ip6tables is used for configuring the IPv6
+packet filter.")
